Is there a way to have syntax highlighting and a dark background color in code snippet?

[Lynoure Braakman]

We are evaluating Confluence as a wiki for software development. Thus lot's of the pages have code in them. However, "Customize code macro" setting does seemingly nothing. Is there some way to get full syntax highlighting and a dark background for the code snippets?

Welcome to the community @Lynoure Braakman 

For dark background in Confluence you can use the dark theme. For the syntax highlighting you can use the app Advanced Code Syntax Highlighter. It supports over 220 programming languages and it can match the requirements that you have.

Let me know if this solution suits you.

I went through all of the Configure Code Macro themes and none of them gave me any other background color for the code snippet than the default light gray. What's the dark theme you refer to?

For syntax highlighting, thank you for the pointer. I'll check it out!

It is the dark theme that is a native part of the Confluence. Click on your avatar, then look for Theme, and there you can find the Dark theme.

With this you would combine using the dark theme with the app that I have posted.

Thanks. Alas, I was looking to have only the code snipped dark, for better readability and differentiation.

This app will be able to help you with that, since it can have the snippets stylized.
